Fenway

 Fenway - the gift that keeps giving!  In 2015 Fenway was a Christmas gift that wound up staying with us.  Lucille, who thought he was the cutest thing ever, could not be persuaded even by Megan that he needed a good home.  So he stayed with us.  Gypsy was his best friend and now that honor belongs to Paul.  

                                                    Sleeping curled up in Paul's coat.

                                              Quiet time with Paul in Maine back in October.

                                                        Hard to believe he is comfortable.

                                                     Bliss is so evident when on Paul's lap.

                                                          He will take any space near Paul.      

                                                        Home sweet home in Cumberland.

                                                Less than three minutes with a new Christmas
                                                 toy and the squeaker is removed.

                                             Caught borrowing Annie's toy while she is in Maine.

Super cute until he barks.  And he does bark.  As the little guy he is forever on the defensive.  

The day was spent feeding and mucking, feeding and mucking again and again.  A couple errands and a few things done around the house for the kids.  And the last coat of urethane has been completed!  Tomorrow we will move the bureau to Brianna's room.

Driving Rain and Left Side Road

Image
 Today found us with lots of cloud and lots of rain.  We snuck in a fast soak in the jacuzzi this morning before our last trip to the grocery store.  A bit of fresh fruit (no fresh foods can be brought back into the states) and enough flour to continue my bread making.  We watched the downpour from the game room where I have yet to beat Paul at pool.  The closest I came was so close... Paul won after I left him this shot! The wet made getting on and off the boat a bit tricky.  During high tides, the boat is about 3 feet above the dock and 3 feet away.  Low tide 3 feet too low.  Normally Paul or I pull the boat closer and climb up or down.  Today I thankfully grabbed his hand before jumping - I slid across the wet dock and would have joined the fish on the other side!  Ugh.  No blood only a small bruise to my shin.  No jumping when wet! Our driving experience here in The Grand Bahamas. The signs:        ...

Ocean Reef Yacht Resort, Freeport, Bahamas

 It was such an amazing day I don't even know where to start.  After getting all set on the dock last night, talking about our crossing (and our mistakes) and waiting for the adrenaline to subside, we finally fell into bed at 2am. Although the crossing did not go as planned, I am still ecstatic to be here!  The West End is merely a stopping point to check in.  There is a gift shop (with little to no stock), a man selling conch salad, a beach with 2 people, the customs office and marina office.  That's it.  We walked the area in just a few  minutes. The channel out was just as narrow as I remembered .  How we maneuvered in the night - I don't know. As soon as we hit deeper water - 2 sea turtles!  One seemed to pose for the camera but I still couldn't capture him.  So cool! And lo and behold - the wind and seas were favorable!  We raised the sails, turned off the engines and sailed to our destination.  A glorious ride at 6-9 knot...

West End, Grand Bahamas

 Today we needed a change of scenery from the marina.  So we headed to the west end of the island.  After stopping at the pharmacy for Sudafed (still can't hear) and the post office we drove to Paradise Cove.  Highly recommended for snorkeling with the turtles, we were excited.                                               We arrived at low tide and after a safety briefing                                                         (where to step and not step) we were off.                                                 A single ...
